I got an absolutely stunning vintage surveryers theodolite here yesterday and it was very competitively priced. I had an excellent experience with the man who helped me and it made my day. I love my new piece and intend to shop there again very soon.

I've been visiting this shop for years--always going in just to look, and always leaving with a fun new find! I miss their pet goat, but other than that can't recommend this shop more!
